Global Cultural Effectiveness

Catalog description

Section information text: The global landscape touches every organization in some manner, either directly through its employees and products or indirectly through its supply chain, strategic partners, and customers. The reality of a global workforce strengthens yet challenges an organization because of its diversity in areas such as cultures, social norms, practices, and beliefs. The human resource (HR) function works on behalf of the organization, its employees, and its leadership to achieve a unified and inclusive work environment by understanding and addressing the unique challenges of a globally diverse workforce, including legal and regulatory constraints. Students in this course analyze the potential for building an integrated, globally-diverse workforce that will effectively improve the organization's capacity and ability to thrive within this unique global landscape.
